Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Anorexia nervosa is characterized by significant weight loss or inability to maintain a healthy weight, often due to limiting food intake. This can lead to decreased metabolic rate as the body attempts to conserve energy. Binge-eating disorder and bulimia nervosa may involve episodes of overeating, but typically do not result in significant weight loss or signs of semistarvation. Night eating syndrome involves consuming most of the daily caloric intake during the evening hours and is not necessarily associated with decreased metabolic rate.
